Description:

Encouraged by the conversations that happened during our first set of racial healing
conversations last month, our New Wineskins small Christian community is offering a
second series of conversations during May and June.
The first session will happen on Monday, May 3rd at 6:30pm. We will start by hearing a ‘lived
experience’ from Renise Washington, who serves as the Restorative Practices Coordinator for
our Manchester School District. Renise uses her real-life experiences, growing up without a
mother and having a father in prison, to bring the connection between personal and professional
development. She holds a M.A. in Special Education, a B.A. in Psychology, and is currently
pursuing her Masters in Social Work.
Then, under the guidance of Valerie J. Payne we will break up into small groups for some
“conversations” ... after which we will gather again for a quick large group synopsis of those
conversations.
Realizing that something must be done to address racism in our hearts and communities, we are
hopeful that these virtual conversations can help us learn more about each other and seek ways
to bring about more healing in our town of Manchester.
We think it’s time ... for racial healing.
Let’s get better at it ... at knowing our neighbors ...
... at making real progress on racial healing in Manchester ... NOW!
Programs are FREE, but registration is required:
Contact John Ryan at jfryan05@cox.net

Description:

Encouraged by the conversations that happened during our first set of racial healing
conversations last month, our New Wineskins small Christian community is offering a
second series of conversations during May and June.
The first session will happen on Monday, May 3rd at 6:30pm. We will start by hearing a ‘lived
experience’ from Renise Washington, who serves as the Restorative Practices Coordinator for
our Manchester School District. Renise uses her real-life experiences, growing up without a
mother and having a father in prison, to bring the connection between personal and professional
development. She holds a M.A. in Special Education, a B.A. in Psychology, and is currently
pursuing her Masters in Social Work.
Then, under the guidance of Valerie J. Payne we will break up into small groups for some
“conversations” ... after which we will gather again for a quick large group synopsis of those
conversations.
Realizing that something must be done to address racism in our hearts and communities, we are
hopeful that these virtual conversations can help us learn more about each other and seek ways
to bring about more healing in our town of Manchester.
We think it’s time ... for racial healing.
Let’s get better at it ... at knowing our neighbors ...
... at making real progress on racial healing in Manchester ... NOW!
Programs are FREE, but registration is required:
Contact John Ryan at jfryan05@cox.net

Description:

Join lecturer Jeffrey Engel for a listening and learning experience of female composers and concert pianists who gained recognition during the 19th century.
There have always been women composers. As far back as the seventh century BC, Sappho, the Greek lyric poetess, played her own accompaniments on the barbiton and the pektis. Throughout the twelfth century there were female troubadours and during the sixteenth, madrigal composers. Francesca Caccini (1587-after 1641) is thought to be the first woman to write an opera and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre (1665-1729), the author of an early ballet. It is not until the end of the nineteenth century, however, that significantly more women begin to enjoy public performances of their music and become professional composers. Perhaps you’ve heard of Teresa Carreno, Sophie Menter and Clara Schumann?
Registration is required for this free virtual event by calling the library at 860-645-0821. Participants will be e-mailed a link for the Zoom event.

The Art of Losing by Lizzy Mason.
On one terrible night, 17-year-old Harley Langston’s life changes forever. At a party she discovers her younger sister, Audrey, hooking up with her boyfriend, Mike—and she abandons them both in a rage. When Mike drunkenly attempts to drive Audrey home, he crashes and Audrey ends up in a coma. Now Harley is left with guilt, grief, pain and the undeniable truth that her ex-boyfriend (who is relatively unscathed) has a drinking problem. So, it’s a surprise that she finds herself reconnecting with Raf, a neighbor and childhood friend who’s recently out of rehab and still wrestling with his own demons. NOT SO “YA” BOOK CLUB guided by honesty, forgiveness, and redemption.
